Italian lesson: "cannoli" is plural. The singular is "cannolo".

English lesson: "singular" can mean "unique."

So here is a rather singular cannolo! Over 70 meters long and more than 700kg, created in Sicily a few years ago. It did make the Guinness Book of World Records.

"Salami" is a plural form too. The singular is "salame".
The English plural "salamis" actually doesn't make any sense 😏

@helenS Yesterday I would have said "sausages of salami." I don't know what I'll call it now.

@LordShadowfire ... "salamino" might be used to refer to those who are less well-equipped then? 🤭

@GlitterEater Yes speaking about the usage of a word to much might lead to confusion. 😏

The plan is to dispatch that one in Messina, so we can finally have a bridge connecting Sicily to the mainland

@Elessar Once people eat out the filling, you will have a tunnel!
In California there's a very old 600 mile long road that passes thru many different towns. It's called El Camino Real; probably the longest named road in the country.

I submit that you have introduced us to El Cannolo Real!!


P.S. apologies for mixing languages!!

@ElwoodBlues That's OK. I doubt if there is a Spanish word for "cannolo", any more than there is an English one!

We should all learn Te Reo Māori instead. No S or plural in that language although the use of a macron and hence pronunciation is used in some words.

No wonder Clemenza wanted his assistant to leave the gun in the car and to take the cannoli.

Superfluous information. After all, who only eats one cannolo?
